CHICAGO, Ill, May 3.-Wheat market active
and stronger to day, accompanied by mOdera tie
advance in prices; market opened $3.50 for
June, sold to sic, several times broke off sac,
but closed on latest trade S31s GS4c, with May
SIC. Buyers were divided among local crowd
but none of them wanted any large amounts
early in the day In the afternoon hOWeve :,
they looked on 1t as better pur-
chase, and June advanced to SAC. There was
little or no news on floor and nothing
of any Importance talked about There was
the usual after talk on the subject of yester-
days deliveries The general belief is now
that the "clique" owns practically all the cash
wheat. The reported good export demand at
the seaboard was one of the strengthening
features of the days trading. Corn was active
and firm. The receipts show falling
off and operators were more inclined TO pur-
chase; market opened shade higher at 397ac for
Ju e, and rose to 1870, and closed at about the
highest figures. Pork in moderate demand
